Examples of the disease causing dementia include cerebral degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, cerebrovascular disorders caused by cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage, brain tumors, head trauma, infectious diseases, metabolic diseases, and the like. In particular, the number of patients has increased significantly with the advancement of age. Alzheimer's disease is said to account for about 30% of dementia patients in Japan and 40-60% in the United States.It is characterized by a sudden short-term memory loss and personality disorder. Costs and nursing care have become major social issues.

Decrease occurs. Also characteristic of this disease are senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles present in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, and amyloid ι8 protein present in the center of senile plaques and tau, a component protein of neurofibrillary tangles. Research on the mechanism of pathogenesis of proteins is underway. Based on these pathogenic mechanisms, the development of therapeutic drugs is also progressing, and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and the like have been developed. However, it is still difficult to say that they are effective enough! In other words, recovery after the onset of disease is usually difficult, and the current situation is that it must be treated symptomatically to slow the progression.
一方、近年、食品成分の機能研究が進み、脳機能に影響を与える成分も見出され ており、本病を予防し、かつ進行を抑える機能を食品に求める動きが活発になってい る(例えば、特許文献 1〜3参照)。これまで、脳の機能を賦活化する食品素材として ドコサへキサェン酸 (DHA)、イチヨウ葉エキス等が知られている力 それらの効果は 十分とはいえず、更に有効な食品素材の開発が切望されている。  On the other hand, in recent years, research on the function of food ingredients has progressed, and ingredients that affect brain function have also been found, and there is an active movement for foods to have functions that prevent this disease and suppress progression (for example, And Patent Documents 1 to 3). To date, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), yew leaf extract, etc. are known as food materials that activate brain functions. Their effects are not sufficient, and the development of more effective food materials is eagerly desired. Has been.

[0008] 従来、ピロ口キノリンキノン類又はその塩は医薬品を目的として、静注又は腹腔内投 与で評価されてきたが、これら経路での投与は実用的ではなぐ侵襲的であると共に 副作用が出やすいと言う大きな問題があった。このため、副作用を伴うことなく効果を 発揮させることができず、有効性の評価も的確になされていなかつたが、本発明者ら は、意外にも、経口的に摂取させることにより、該化合物は極めて低摂取量で学習 · 記憶能低下改善等の脳機能改善効果を示し、しかも、その有効摂取量の範囲が極 めて広ぐ高摂取量でも副作用が出現しないことを見出した。これらのことは、ピロロキ ノリンキノン類又はその塩が、安全な機能性食品素材として使用可能であることを示 している。  [0008] Conventionally, pyro-quinoline quinones or salts thereof have been evaluated by intravenous injection or intraperitoneal injection for the purpose of pharmaceuticals, but administration by these routes is not practical and has side effects. There was a big problem that it was easy to come out. For this reason, the effect could not be exerted without causing side effects, and the effectiveness was not accurately evaluated, but the present inventors unexpectedly took the compound by taking it orally. We found that brain intake was effective at improving brain function such as learning and memory ability improvement at extremely low intakes, and that no side effects appeared even at high intakes where the range of effective intake was extremely wide. These facts indicate that pyrroloquinoline quinones or salts thereof can be used as a safe functional food material.

[0010] 以下、実施例を挙げて本発明を具体的に説明するが、本発明はこれらの例によつ て限定されるものではない。  Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.
[0011] ¾細  [0011] ¾fine
雄ウィスター系ラット (9週齢)を、ピロ口キノリンキノンニナトリウム塩 (PQQ '2Na) 0.02% 若しくはコェンザィム QlO(CoQ10)0.3%を、両者併せて又は単独に添加した飼料、或 いは何れも含まない無添加飼料で飼育し、飼育 21日後の 12週齢から、各群 9匹を用 いてモーリス水迷路による学習 ·記憶能力に関する試験を行った。即ち、円形のブー ル (直径 150cm、深さ 45cm)の底を白線で 4分割し、そのうちの 1分画の中央部に、水中 に隠れるように円形のプラットホームを置き、各ラットをプラットホームのない他の分画 3力所の異なった位置力 遊泳させ、プラットホーム上に止まるまでの時間を測定した 。本試験は毎日 1試行、計 20日間行った。学習率は以下の式により算出した。  Male Wistar rats (9-week-old) were fed either or both with or without quinoline quinoline disodium salt (PQQ '2Na) 0.02% or Coenzyme QlO (CoQ10) 0.3%. The animals were reared with no added feed, and from 12 weeks of age 21 days after the rearing, tests were conducted on learning and memory ability using the Morris water maze using 9 animals in each group. In other words, the bottom of a circular boule (diameter 150 cm, depth 45 cm) is divided into four parts by white lines, and a circular platform is placed in the center of one of the fractions so as to be hidden underwater, and each rat has no platform. Different fractional forces at the other three fractions were measured by swimming and resting on the platform. This study was conducted on a trial basis for 20 days. The learning rate was calculated by the following formula.
学習率 (%) = 100— (X回目の到達時間の平均 /1回目の到達時間の平均) X 100 上記水迷路試験において、回数を重ねる毎に PQQ '2Na添加群、無添加群とも学 習率は上昇していくが、 PQQ '2Na添加群で統計的に有意に上昇速度が速ぐ PQQ - 2Naが記憶 ·学習能力を高めることが確認された。結果を図 1に示す。  Learning rate (%) = 100— (Average time for X times / average time for first times) X 100 In the above water maze test, learning is performed for both the PQQ '2Na addition group and the non-addition group each time the number of times is repeated. Although the rate increases, it is confirmed that PQQ-2Na increases memory and learning ability, which is statistically significantly faster in the PQQ '2Na addition group. The results are shown in Figure 1.
[0012] 施例 2 [0012] Example 2
雄ウィスター系ラット (9週齢)を用い、 PQQ '2Na0.02%若しくは CoQIO 0.3%を、両者 併せて又は単独に添加した飼料、或いは何れも含まない無添加飼料で飼育し、飼育 21日後の 12週齢から、実施例 1と同様に各群 9匹を用いて、モーリス水迷路を使用し た訓練によりプラットホームの位置を記憶させた。なお、プールの底は白線で 4分画し 、そのうちの 1分画の中央部にプラットホームを置いた。プラットホームの位置を記憶し たラットを酸化ストレス (100%酸素下に 48時間)に曝した。次に、プラットホームを取り除 いた水迷路に 60秒間遊泳させ、 4分画中、プラットホームがあった区画の滞留時間を 測定し、以下の式により記憶保持率を算出した。 Male Wistar rats (9 weeks old) were used to feed PQQ '2Na 0.02% or CoQIO 0.3%, both in combination or singly, or in an additive-free diet. From the age of 12 weeks, using the Morris water maze using 9 animals in each group as in Example 1. The location of the platform was memorized by training. The bottom of the pool was divided into four lines with white lines, and a platform was placed in the center of one of these. Rats that remembered the platform location were exposed to oxidative stress (48 hours under 100% oxygen). Next, it was allowed to swim for 60 seconds in the water maze where the platform was removed, and the residence time of the section where the platform was located was measured during 4 fractions, and the memory retention rate was calculated by the following formula.
記憶保持率 (%) = (酸化ストレス曝露後の 9日間の平均滞留時間/酸化ストレス曝露直 前の平均滞留時間) X 100 Memory retention (%) = (average residence time for 9 days after exposure to oxidative stress / average residence time immediately before exposure to oxidative stress) X 100
その結果を図 2に示す。記憶保持率の平均値は PQQ '2Na及び CoQIO添加群で最 も高ぐ PQQ '2Na単独添加群がこれに次いだ。また記憶保持率の平均値には、 PQQ • 2Naと CoQ 10にお!/、て有意な相乗効果が認められた。  The results are shown in Fig. 2. The average value of memory retention was highest in the PQQ '2Na and CoQIO addition groups, followed by the PQQ' 2Na alone addition group. In addition, a significant synergistic effect was observed for PQQ • 2Na and CoQ 10 in the average memory retention rate!
